      Verdict

      Kelso winner BUSTY BOY could not complete a double on a return visit from 5lb higher but met an in-form and smart rival so should get back on the winning trail. Winning hurdler Artic Row made a bad mistake and his saddle slipped on his chasing bow at Musselburgh while the veteran Ardera Cross, 17 times a winner over jumps, was soon beaten here last time after leading early. Fathers Advice is 0-22 but may still prove best of the remainder.
